I am a retired trial lawyer. In 1985 I left my job as a young lawyer at a large law firm and spent nine months traveling in Asia. When I returned, I wrote much of a travel memoir about those (pre-internet) solo journeys. Before completing it, however, I threw it in a drawer ... where it stayed for about 35 years. I have now, in retirement, come back to and completed the manuscript, a time capsule of traveling in the undeveloped world decades ago, and am moving to the publication part of this new journey.
